How to do Pu Bu / Crouch Stance - Stretch & train

[@EugeneWilliams-e1m]

Ni Hoa Ma, I started my Chinese martial arts in 1970. This is a great refresher.

[@elzawhitetiger]

Thank you so much for clarifying the hip position. You helped me realize what I was doing wrong. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺🌞✨

[@Prodigalson0078]

your English is good enough brother. I've seen other people demonstrate this stretch. but you explained it in such a way that I understand it much better now. Thank you!

[@markbibb1221]

Sinful, it took me two weeks to learn the drop stance . Your explanation showed me the proper way. Thank you so much. I now watch all your videos.

[@ya_boi_donni8609]

Thank You very much. I had problems with my heels at first but I did heel stretches and I can now practice on Pu Bu much easier. :)

[@andrececcoli5787]

谢谢🙏师父, your physiological and biomechanical explanations are great. Me and my 2 sons are learning 少林 in France with a Chinese Master, and I hope to come to you asap with my family for learning.

[@VegetoStevieD]

Wow, you really know what specific points to discuss. You just solved a major one for me. Thanks!

[@nalbano]

Excellent form and transition. One of the most important QiGong or Shaolin basic moves. At least in the top 3 in level of importance. Thank you Yan Xin. I will explore more of your content

[@agianpiano7221]

The knowledge you share is a gem. I can do the stance but never know the purpose until you show the full motion. Subscribed and like.

[@kwanyincita3390]

I love your explanation. It´s so helpful. Thanks to you I have finally achieved the crouch stance without problem

than you very much sir, you helped me to find a solution with a hip. Now I know how to do this correctly. By the way you have a beautiful family. God Bless you sir. Stay Safe😊👍🙏🙏🙏

[@dennist6393]

Excellent video! I always found it difficult to understand how to properly bring down the hip of the leg that is being stretched, this helped a lot. Thank you so much.

[@NinjaBenification]

I want to thank you very much my friend, in this stance I finally was able to stretch some muscles right at the base of my spine, by ensuring my back foot is flat and I'm low in the stance I felt an urge to reach far out in front with both arms, is the most amazing feeling. I have been suffering from tight muscles and nerves so needing to stretch everything but in particular all the deep muscles in my core and around my spine and neck. Thankyou very much for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

Hello Ben you are welcome :) if you warm up + stretch will get more benefit from it. good luck 💪

[@ninjasword2352]

Thankyou this really works for me i will keep practicing my kungfu forms

Thank you for the step by step explanation and demonstration of the Pu Bu.I have been searching youtube for the last I year, and would like to tell you that this is the best I have come across. It gives me more confidence to practice the movement.Suggestions- Please remove the bench in the foreground, as it is blocking the view of your hands and feet. Also, keep your dogs away from you, as they also block the view, and you may hurt them accidently.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

Thank you very much for your advice.

KUNGFU.LIFE Master, what do you think about joining pu bu and wu long pan da for warm up and stretch? One of my masters always used to do that. Whenever you get some spare time could you make a video about a way to warm up fast (like 3 minutes) for situations where you have no room to run etc.? Greets to you and your nice dogs.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

***** Yes I will try my best to make a short warm up video soon. have nice day ^_^ Master Yan Xin

[@miatk7785]

Can you make a video about how to strengthen the knees? I have very weak knees and it makes it hard to practice the stances.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

+Mia Marvel the stances do work for strength your knee but try warm up your knee before you doing stances, that works even better.

[@ShaderockLouis]

Good explain.

[@norbertW64]

Great, thank you

[@ветхотеософ]

Спасибо за подробное объяснение и показ, не зная английского, всё ясно. Хотя наш учитель, приехавший из Харбина в далёком 90-м, требовал параллельность стоп и, даже, несколько повёрнутых внутрь, как классический шаолиньский длинный кулак.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

вы можете, удачи вашей подготовки кунг-фу :)

[@bubbles8968]

Great video! Thanks for the explanation about where to place your center of gravity -- I just recently started training and have been training a lot. For the last few days my knees started to crack more than usually and feel bit inflamed -- is this because I don't have enough muscle in my leg to support the stance? Should I focus my on strengthening the muscle around the knees and my flexibility before I attempt this stance further. Thanks.

Hey Hi!!!! Im still recovering from a groin and hamstring strain and its been 2months already. what I wanna know is ,Is it ok to practice pubu stance with those strains????? Xie xie!!!

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

sorry just saw your message. i will suggestion not rush to stretch yet get bit more time to recover till you feel ready and then genteelly start with these stretches. but i hope you have recovery now.

[@queenofnevers6990]

"when you're up..." this is very optimistic 😏

[@sofiag1657]

Thank you so much for this great explanation! I'm trying to learn this form in Tai Chi. One question: when you crouch down, are you 'sitting' on your calf, or do you still hold yourself up a bit? In other words, is there any space between the back of your thigh and your calf?

[@bartleyrob]

Great video and good to see the application in kung fu. xe xe

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

+rob bartley Thank you Rob for the feedback.

[@bhanuprathapk1327]

But for initial learners it is hard to do stretch...that too a person whose ,muscle is well built I mean more than 28 years of age. For them please give tips to stretch and flexible their muscles. :-) Then only they can able to do the stretch. Any suggestions on Ligament injured persons??? Your videos are great for learners :-)

[@misherutaichou8683]

Very good Video. I invented the Quote (you can use for your students as well :D) "Without Pu Bu, no (good) Kung Fu" :)

[@sabinerufie9962]

Thank you Sifu. I’m in love with your teachings. I have a question, how can I become more flexible? I feel like my body is locked and it’s hard sometimes to stretch more or bend more.... :’(. If I practice very often, would it changes that or is there a way to improve that? Xie Xie again Sifu.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

:) I understand. yes if you keep stretching it will soon you will feel the different :) the best way to improve it is warm up and stretching,warm up stretching let it become your habit :)

I practiced Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu in the past for a little bit together with Tai Chi.. now im in Wing Chun Kung Fu. All together for 4 years already and i can't even do the Pu Bu properly lol..When i practise my kicks and stuff then im pretty flexible but when i try the crouching stance it goes 70% :) But thanks for the lesson Sifu i will try to keep practising it.

[@KUNGFULIFE-shifuyanxin]

you are welcome :) Pu Bu Crouch stance is a quite hard movement to stretch and practice. I cant see your movement so i could not give you exactly suggestion but you may give a try both leg crouch down first and than use something to help your balance the same time let one leg straight to become Pu Bu. god luck :)

[@BlessedWarrior]

Sounds good Sifu, thanks for the information, i have you on facebook i guess ^^ i can send a photo on chat so u can see how i do the stance. I think you may be too busy to see the message :) If i dont forget it

[@misherutaichou8683]

btw how to do one minute or 30 seconds without counting? BREATH deeply around 15 times is 1 Minute (it dpends on your fitness). 8 times arround 30 seconds.
